THE NATIONAL DRILL.
The President Reviews the Entire
Encampment.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The parade of
troops to-day, for review by the Presi-
dent, has afforded the first opportunity
for seeing at once the entire body of
those forming the encampment, and it
was an unqualified success. Arrange
ments for the parade were reasonably
complete, and were carried out almost
to the allotted second, and without an
apparent hitch or break. The head OF
the column started from the camp up
Seventeenth Street promptly at noon,
and reached the stand erected for
the President and invited guests
ten minutes later. The reviewing
stand had seats for nearly 800
persons, and was well filled without
being crowded. With the President,
were Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Welsh and
Mrs. Marsey, and Colonel and Mrs.
Lamont ana General Sheridan and
several members of his staff in full
uniform were there as escorts. Among
the guests of the drill were Governor
Lee. of Virginia, and staff; Governor
McGill, OF Minnesota, and staff; Staff
governor himself having been. detained
at the last moment). Secretary Endi-
colt, Senators Sherman and German,
Mexican and Japanese ministers and
ladies, their families and a liberal
sprinkling of other legations and army
people. The stand was covered
with bunting and stood beneath
the shade of lofty trees, which
front the White House grounds.
When the right of the column ap-
preached, the President stepped upon
the dais, and in response to the salutes
of the passing commands, removed his
hat and bowed. The wide. smoothly
paved avenues selected for the line of
march afforded ample room for display
by the company front, and thousands
of strangers, with half the population
of the Capital City, filed the windows
and lined the pavements along the en-
tire route.

a Doodle Sensation. .

New YORK, May 25.-In the Doodle
case, to-day, the introduction of the
first witness for the State caused SEN
sation. It was no other than Mic
Schneider, contractor, who has been
missing ever since the Doodle inVestiga-
ton began months ago. He has been
under detective care all the time. SChnie-
der was prompt and direct in his testi-
mOny relative as to how Engineer Nc
Donald, of the County Hospital, had
secured him Doodle job on the same
conditions as other contractors
were getting. Forty per cent. of the
proceeds had to be paid to
square Warden McGarrigle besides
several commissioners. Ten of Schnei-
cer's bills went through the county
board, the first one, for 81, 800 being
paid before particle OF work
had been done. While Schneider
was testifying, a scene was caused by
an apparent effort on the part of NJ. c.
Mcdonald, q noted politician and ex-
gambler, and brother of Engineer Nc
Donald. to catch the informer's eye.
United States Attorney Grinnell quickly
warned him to desist or he would be
publicly denounced or elected from the
court.

A METEOR ANALYSED.
An Interesting Experiment Being
Made at the Cardegic LabOra-
tory.

A rarely interesting analysis Is now
being made at the laboratory OF the
Edgar Thomson Steel Works, 1t is an
analysis of a, portion Of a large
meteoric mass found in Mexico, the
major part of which is now N the
famous Yale College collection.
Some time ago Prof. Brashea7. de-
iivered an address upon meteors before
the congregation of DR.. SBift's Church,
OF Arch street, Allegheny. Among his
audience was Mr.. Henry Phipps, of the
firm of Carnegie Phipps & Co., who
expressed himself as being much
interested in what Mr.. Brashear told
him in regard to this particular meteeric
find. He asked the latter if il would be
possible to get q. specimen OF the mass
for his private cabinet. Mr.. BTashear
answered that it would, but Sit would
come high" at the same time giving
Mr.. Phipps the address OF the parties
who IN. hit De abia TO furnish the rare
specimen. Prof. Brashear thought no
more of it for some time, until there
came to him one day a carefully
wrapped package, and letter from Mr..
Phipps. 1t was q three-pound piece
of the Mexican mass, and the letter in
formed Mr.. Brashear that if he could
cut it into he could keep half. The
operation was successfully performed,
and the filings or dust, made in cutting
il, were taken by Mr.. Phipps for the
purpose of analysis, which has not yet
been concluded.
Mr. Brashear exhibited his specimen
TO the large audience which had
= Fh Co
Church last night to hear him talk
about "Comete and Meteors." 1t is an
irregular shaped mass, weighing less
Than pound, and on the side IN
polished presents a black, corrugated
appearance. Hall of the side which
was cut has been polished and looks
ike III iron, but the ether half of the
face has been etched, and brings out
plainly the remarkable formation, which
Prof. Brashear says is entirely different
from any thing ever found except in
few specimens of iron from Greenland.
In his enthusiastic and happy manner,
Prot. Brashear talked to his audience
b. hour and a half last night upon
wnat we know about comets and
meteors, and what We don't know,
One OF the most interesting features
In hi lecture was that in which he
reviewed the theories or Proctor and
Others in regard to origin Of meteors.
That astronomer, in a recent article,
argues that meteors are portions Of
matter thrown out by volcanoes in the
earIY o. RODS OF the earth's existence.
A growing belief among a certain
school OF scientists is that comets and
meteors are OF the same origin. They
con end that periodical comets, which
have made their appearance at regular
intervals, have entirely disappeared,
Int II has been noticed that remarkable
showers of "shooting stars" have been
noted at the period when the lost
comets were due.-Pittshurg DisPQteh.-

MILLIONS IN IT.
4 Bic Suit Against Jay Gould
and Russell Sage,
On THE K. P. SECURITIES.
,rhs Case Bids Fair to Become One OF
the Great Lawsuits of the Day
Other General Notes.
Suing For Millions.

NEW YORK, May 25.-The Commercial
Advertiser says: A suit, involving S.
OpOOOO, is about to be commenced
against Jay Gould and Russell Ssg =, as
trustees of the consolidated mortgage
m the Kansas Pacific Railway, by for
eign holders. The bonds were issued
undera mortgage. Certain facts were
elected during the recent examination
in the affairs of Pacific railroads by the
United States Pacific Railway Commits
sion, which have long been suspected by
interested parties, but which they were
unable to prove. Now all is made clear,
and the suit will DE the result.
1t is said that in 1879, when the plan
to consolidate the Kansas Pacific and
Union Pacific roads was about to be
carried into effect, Sydney Dillon, by
preconcerted arrangement, had an
attorney bring action against Gould
and Sage, as trustees of the great Kan
sas Pacific blanket mortgage, to release
10000 shares of Denver Pacific stock
from the lien of mortgage. This stock
was worth 500 per share, par, but at
this time was of no great market value.
In this case, in place of the ordinary
legal delays, the answer was served
on the following day, and the applica-
ton to JUdge Donohue for the appoint
ment of II. II. Ruggles as referee, and
within the next two or three days So
called trial was had before the referee,
during which Dillon testified that the
Denver Pacific stock was worth about
$500 900 or 100000, though its face
value was $4,000, 900. The report made
was confirmed and judgment entered,
the S3,O00.o00 worth of stock released
from the lien of the mortgage and
transferred to Gould and Sage as
individuals. The whole suit, in
Volging so large a sum of money, was
commenced and ended inside of one
week. On the same day, or the day
after, the stock was transferred, the con-
solidatiOn was contaminated, and,
shortly after, the Denver Pacific stock
became worth its face value. Had il
remained under the lien of the consoli-
dated mortgage, each bond issued would
have been worth its pro rata share of
So. COO 900 more than it is day. This,
with interest, would be about S., 900 900.
It's to procure proportionate share
Of this. that the foreign bondholders
propose 30 bring their suit, claiming a
wrongful deprivation, and that a court
OF justice was Improperly used to give
the color of legality to robbery. The
case bids fair to be one of the great law
suits OF the day.

After recess The examination of Ames
was continued. He remembered sn
agreement between the Union Pacific
Colorado Central, Denver Pacific and
receivers of the Kansas Pacific, dated
June, 1878, was reported to the direct
ors of the Kansas Pacific for approval.
This pool remained in operation until
the Consolidation. Witness did not re-
member a meeting IN July, 1879, in
which ii was agreed to make a note 10
Jay Gould for $3.50, 300, with a deposit
of the Kansas Pacific consuls as secnr-
ity, the proceeds to DE used for tie pay
ment of overdue coupons and in
terest certificates, but very likely
the agreement was made, for the com
pany had not then sufficiently
recovered to be able to get along with
out raising money in.this way. The
stock in the Denver and South Park
Railway was bought in lump, s., OOO,-
GOO and more directly, as he under
stood, from Governor Evans, at par.
The road had earned q surplus
for two, and perhaps three, years.
The Union Pacific had recently ceased
paying interest on S1,600,000 of first
mortgage bonds on the first 150 miles of
road. These were outstanding when

road would carry a link that would
operate to the advantagesof the Denver
& Rio Grande and to the disadvantage
of the Union Pacific.
This fact had kept them paying in
terest in the past years. The Union
Pacific still paid interest on the Kansas
Central, though it was not earned, it
being thought the better policy to keep
the road in hand than allow
a foreclosure. Another line on which
unearned dividends were paid were
those on short line, in whose bonds
the UnGn Pacific had no interest.
When a led how he explained the
paymentHof dividends with condition
of affairs which required the sale of
stock for the extinction of the
floating debt, Ames said the declar-
alton of the dividend was made
upon the statement of the net earnings,
and the road might very well have
earned the dividends several times over,
and at the same time been building
roads and borrowing money and using
its funds for other purposes. In
addition to the property which
would not interfere with the right to
draw dividends, Ames also said the
directors of the Union Pacific were
largely controlled in signing the agree
menG by the fact that they were cornered
by Gould. Gould made about So 800, 600
by the consolidation.
